Atlantic Coastline

Touring the Maine coast is an extraordinary journey. With more coastline than California (3,478 miles), there are so many diverse areas to explore along the entire Maine Coast. The State of Maine is larger than the other five New England states combined. With a sprawling coastline and many shore routes, touring the scenic Maine Coast is time well spent. Stop and savor a guided architectural walking tour of a lighthouse, take a breathtaking whale watch cruise, or enjoy a sailing charter of the scenic Casco Bay. Within the city, visitors can enjoy the Portland Freedom Trail, a permanent self-guided walking trail of thirteen marked sites. Just south of the city, stroll along the famous Marginal Way in Ogunquit, or drive to the Nubble Lighthouse in York Beach and enjoy a close-up view of the spectacular coastal beauty that Maine offers.

Four Seasons

Maine is a state that can be enjoyed during all four seasons. As winter makes way for spring, maple syrup flows and flowers bloom. Spring marks opening day for baseball, museums, and many seafood restaurants throughout the region. Some say that summer in Maine is magical, with sunny and breezy days, and cool, clear nights. There is no shortage of things to do – from a historic tour, to a boat ride, a hike or a trip to the beach. Fall in Maine brings crisp air, gorgeous foliage, and plenty of breathtaking views. Take a "leaf peepers tour” or enjoy a hearty meal when Maine seafood is at its peak.
